not sure why it does surprise people
if you are standing next to the man in charge and he attack your people / faith / minority …etc
you think you are safe because you feel you have the power and the man in change will protect you
That is while people kept on saying Saddam Hussain oppressed Shia in Iraq , half his cabinet were Shia
they heard all his rhetoric vs Shia Iran and felt " Hey that is them not me "
same feeling by the Jews / Blacks …etc in Trump cabinet , they know he is fueling the fire and hatred toward them , but because they are with the man in power , they think they are safe
